Title: Engine swap 4.0 xj
Post by: ukturbo2000 on February 12, 2013, 09:32:32 PM

About to attempt my first 4.0 transplant. Anything you can tell me to make it go a little smoother or things to watch out for appreciated. Its a '97 facelift xj and the new lump is out of a '96 grand cherokee

I found it easier to remove the engine gearbox complete getting past the engine mount bracket was a pain on my own ..

there are two torq bolts on top of the gearbox connecting the engine and box 10mm i think
